SIMPSON M
The Rujumbura constituency aspiring Member of Parliament, Mr. Musiime Obadiah, yesterday officially launched a campaign aimed at taking him to the 12th Parliament, with a people-centered manifesto focused on transforming livelihoods in the constituency and restoring public trust in political leadership.
Fresh from a successful nomination in Kampala, Musiime Obadiah, a secondary school teacher by profession and an NRM grassroots mobilizer, was welcomed by an electrified crowd of supporters in Buhunga Subcounty, Rujumbura constituency. The event marked the beginning of what he termed a “bold and accountable journey to reclaim the promise of Rujumbura.”
While addressing his supporters, Musiime Obadiah promised to reintroduce a results-based leadership culture that focuses on improving various sectors that directly impact the lives of ordinary citizens.
He emphasized that his campaign is not just about winning an election but about redefining the leadership that Rujumbura constituency deserves — leadership that lives among the people, understands their challenges, and delivers meaningful results.
Musiime criticized some long-serving leaders in Rujumbura, accusing them of using voter bribery to secure new terms without delivering the services they promise.
He noted that his manifesto is built on key transformation pillars, addressing longstanding challenges faced by the people of Rujunbura.
Musiime pledged to empower the youth by establishing Skilling Hubs in his first term as MP, highlighting that there are currently no such facilities in Rujumbura to support young people.
He also spoke about plans to revive road infrastructure, stating that many roads in the constituency are in a poor state, which has contributed to the area’s underdevelopment.
He promised to lobby for the urgent rehabilitation of roads, calling them vital economic lifelines that have been neglected for years, affecting transport, trade, and access to healthcare.
Furthermore, he vowed to ensure that both Rujumbura and Rukungiri hospitals are stocked with essential medicines and adequately staffed, noting that the current state of healthcare services in Rujumbura is dismal.
Musiime concluded the event by urging voters to reject empty promises and instead demand clear policy agendas from all aspiring leaders ahead of the 2026 elections.
